At the University of Ghana, my study in Theatre Arts focused on understanding the intersection of performance, culture, and media. I gained in-depth knowledge of acting, directing, scriptwriting, and media analysis, which equipped me with the skills to tell stories that resonate with diverse audiences. My coursework explored the nuances of performance both on stage and in digital media, blending theory and practice to help me develop as a well-rounded theatre artist. Through various productions and research, I honed my ability to analyze and create impactful performances, fostering a deep appreciation for the role of arts in society.
My Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Theatre Arts provided a comprehensive education in the fine arts, emphasizing creativity and technical skills across different media. During my studies, I explored a wide range of artistic expressions, from visual storytelling to performance arts, allowing me to develop a versatile artistic perspective. This program enabled me to refine my ability to create compelling artistic works, understand audience engagement, and apply fine arts principles to both traditional and contemporary forms of media. It laid the foundation for my continued passion for the arts and creative communication.
